The vigorous offensive of the allies has compelled the recent extraordinary efforts of the Germans nowhere successful to break through, the allies' center for re lief. The French reintorcementa, brought up In response to the German movement, are winning gradually to the main artery of the German position. It may not be severed, but it Is now at least exposed to the knife. Towns Captared Over Attain. Towns and villages from Vic-Sur-Aisne round to Peronne, and beyond are being captured and recaptured dally in . the work of turning the German flank, and the valor, and desperation of thea Ger mans In their efforts to . keep the allies out, frequently bring them partial suc cess, v. In' all that country the fighting during tho last week has been of an extraor dinarily violent character, but the general progress of the allies eastward and in ward Is unquestionable. At Lasslgny, for example, a German force the strength of which I could not learn, has been surrounded by the French. Cut off from the main body, it has taken refuge in ' soma . extensive quarries and its position now; Is very like that of Gen eral Cronje's aV Paardeburg In the Boer war. The quarries, which are of the usual nature, were of German ownership, so every yard of their Intricate working is known to the German ' troops. Long subterranean passages are . electrically lighted. Inhabitants as Shield. The Germans, when they saw their retreat was impossible, drove Into the refuge thousands of inhabitants, mainly women and children. These poor creatures now act as" shield for the German soldiery, but as French troops now sur round the position, with the French ar tillery shelling the German guns and the trenches, nothing but a miracle can save from imprisonment this section of the German force. In the end It must sur render. ENGLAND LIFTS EMBARGO ON EXPORT OF ANILINE LONDON. Oct. 1. f2:35 p. m.) Tho embargo on the exportation of aniline oil from Great Britain has been raised.

Turkey, the Lpndon Daily Telegraph says it understands, is about to make a demand concerning the station of certaW British "warships with which it will be impossible for Great Britain to comply, and It is likely, therefore, to bring Turkey Into the European war. The Telegraph instances many indica tions Qf the Turkish policy, such as the FRENCH VICTORS IN SEDAN BATTLE Paris Correspondent Reports Ger mans Defeated on Field They Were Once Successful On.

During the strategical relief of the allies southward from the Belgian frontier, the French troops ex- 1 acted from the' Germans blobdy revenge for the 'French retreat' at Sedan "forty four years before.' On this same battle field, according to. the Paris correspond ent of the Dally Mail the Germans suf fered .one of the worst defeats of the present Invasion. They . were led ' Into a trap which cost them thousands of men, he says. The French could have held their position Indefinitely, but strategy required them to continue, falling back wlth'the remainder-of the allies 'along the line. Here Is the story of the second battle of Sedan, as told by the correspondent:- . "The French general ordered his troops to full back across the river and take up positions on the ' opposite heights. ; The bridges were rained, but were left stand ing In order to deceive the Germans Into thinking that the French were retreating hastily. The ruse succeeded. The Germans advanced across the bridges In close' for mation. When several German regiments had crossed - the French blew up , the bridges and-the French artillery started firing at 100 German columns, which re treated hastHy to the river only to find the bridges gone.

Many soldiers threw down their arms and attempted to swim tb river and large numbers were drowned. When nightfall came the French brought up searchlights and con tinued the work of carnage. "The artillery threw shells at the rate of a dozen rounds a minute into the Ger man ranks and varied its tactics by throwing Incendiary shells into the for est where part of the German force had Uken refute.

Bhut shln, Augustowo and Ossowets is little more than a vast swamp, making military operations difficult even In the best of weather. Rain ha been falling heavily for the last two days, but the Russians nevertheless are pushing on determinedly. The recent fighting has been eatigulnary, two German divisions having been de stroyed in the battle of Druskenlkl. In the west of Russian Poland the brushes between the advance guards continue. "The Polish peasants are extremely bit ter against the Germans and this feeling has been Increased by contact with Ger man hunger. As an Instance the Germans everywhere pretended to pay for supplies with documents written In German, which the peasants.- found had" transcribed thereon that 'whoever presents this at the end of war will be hanged." Peasant Hang; German Soldier. "There has probably been sniping by the civilian population, as the bodies of six peasants were found hanging to a tree In a Polish town a few days sgo.
